Oh, Manchester, So Much To Answer For

Go ahead and call it a comeback, cuz R.'s Love Letter is not only his best full-length in at least a decade, it's one of 2010's best albums. This is what it sounds like when Kelly harnesses his talents and sets phasers to "stun": R&B that's delicious and (mostly) classy (really!) without ever being boring. Contemporary and classic, simultaneously.
